the usual rueters/bbc bullshit on the net. for hardcopy, i have subscriptions to what fletcher and jfk put out along with the atlantic, economist and zmag. how much of these are actually read depends on how nihilistic and depressed i feel like being that month. getting magazines rules though.

i also read whatreallyhappened.org and zmag.org despite fundamentally disagreeing with a lot of what they're about. the former has a shitload of daily stories, while the latter has some writers i love/hate.
i'm hardly an authority on politics, just try to stave off being totally ignorant. i still think i know more than anyone who gets their ideas from political blogs, just give me facts and i think i can interpret them with some competency. if i need help with them, i'll turn to people in my sources versus some bitter blogger.
